Game Toolbar System for Reducing Backpack Storage Pressure
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In survival-type role-playing games, players face cumbersome and complex processes when managing virtual items in their character's backpack, leading to inefficient use of storage space and significant time and energy expenditure.
Innovation Solution
A game controlling method and terminal configuration that includes a toolbar for equipping survival tools, allowing players to add, equip, and manage survival tools within the game, reducing the need to constantly clear backpack space by providing a system for storing and equipping items in classes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If players actively choose to discard items to clear the backpack, then the backpack space is sufficient, but the clearing process is cumbersome and complex, consuming a lot of time and energy
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the backpack management function by introducing a toolbar as a separate interface layer. Instead of directly managing items in the backpack, players can select items and add them to the toolbar for quick access and management. This segmentation separates the storage function (backpack) from the access/management function (toolbar), making item management more convenient while maintaining adequate storage capacity.
2Quantity of substance
If players actively choose to discard items to clear the backpack, then the backpack space is sufficient, but a lot of time and energy is consumed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by allowing players to pre-select and add frequently used items to the toolbar in advance. This preliminary organization means that when players need to access or manage items, they don't need to search through or reorganize the entire backpack each time. The toolbar serves as a pre-prepared shortcut area, significantly reducing the time and energy required for item management operations.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the character collects more and more items, then the game progress and needs are met, but the virtual backpack space is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts frequently accessed items from the backpack and places them in the toolbar as a separate functional area. This extraction allows the backpack to maintain its role as primary storage while the toolbar provides additional accessible space for active items. Players can collect more items for game progress without being constrained by backpack space limitations, as the toolbar provides an additional layer of item availability.

AI summary
A game control method, a terminal, a device, and a storage medium. The method comprises: configuring an article backpack for storing a virtual article for a target virtual character, an equipment bar for equipping weapons and equipment and a tool bar for equipping a survival tool; in a case that the target virtual character obtains the survival tool, adding the survival tool into the tool bar; and in a case that the target virtual character triggers a target survival project, controlling the target virtual character to complete the target survival project. According to the method, a new operation mode and a new function mode are added to the character, the article storage pressure of the article backpack is effectively reduced, and the frequency of cleaning the article backpack is reduced.
